Planetary time scales are on the order of thousands of years, not hundreds.

You are ALREADY showing your ignorance and lack of understanding! Straight out of the gate! You are irrepressible! It's a kind of genius!

Here it is in bold so not even YOU can miss it:

HUMAN ACTIVITY COULD BE, IN EFFECT, SIMULATING IN MUCH SHORTER ORDER THE UNDERLYING PERTURBATIONS OF NATURE.

Christ!

How is that so goddamn hard to understand?

You lose.

Oh, bullcrap.

You showed that you had NO IDEA about the then current state of the research other than blathering about journals you had supposedly read that said that ESC research was unnecessary. You were shown to be utterly foolish by many others besides me.

It completely missed and screwed up so many points in so few words that it remains your masterpiece of addle-headedness. And BEFORE YOU START: the cancer point was ridiculous to make. No one credible was doing ACTUAL human trials at the time - the cancer risk was known.

At the frickin' time I tried to get you to listen to and read actual reports, but you wouldn't. You would have had to give up your preconceptions if you had.

And I pointed out a zillion times that there was work being done (still not complete, by the way) in teasing pluripotency out of stem cells from later stages of development. So why the hell are you telling me something I already know?

It's all here in the recorded history, bucko. You can go back and have a look, but then again the facts aren't your strong suit.
